GFEBS Business Process Areas Already
Passed
Funds Management ✔✔Within GFEBS, the Funds Management (FM) business processing
function performs the budgeting and funds control for General Fund appropriations received by
the Army.
The major purposes of Funds Management include:
•Distributing, allocating and executing funds
•Ensuring that funds are not over-committed
•Allowing the Army to perform strategic planning
FM integrates primarily with the Financials (FI), Reimbursables (RM), and Spending Chain (SC)
business process areas.
Reimbursables ✔✔Reimbursable Order Processing and Debt Management are the two primary
sub-processes that encompass the Reimbursables (RM) business process.
Spending Chain ✔✔Spending Chain includes the most widely-used GFEBS transactions, those
related to purchase requisitions and purchase orders.
This includes:
- Accounts Payable
- Acquisitions
- Vendor Master Data
- Material Master Data
Financials ✔✔Now, let's look at the Financials (FI) business process area.
In GFEBS, Financials relies on the execution of five key sub- processes (shown below) to gather
the financial data that accurately reflects and conveys the current financial state of the Army.
•Manage General Ledger Accounts
•Process Journal Vouchers
•Perform Cash Balancing
•Perform Period-End Close
•Perform Year-End Close
How does the Army use GFEBS to report financial status to the DoD and Treasury? ✔✔First,
GFEBS is the financial book of record for the Army's General Fund. Each period-end, the Army
uses GFEBS to generate standardized financial reports. The General Ledger maintained in
GFEBS contains the source transactions and balances required to generate the financial reports.
These reports summarize the overall financial condition of the Army's General Fund.
Certain master data within FI closely integrates with master data in other GFEBS business
process areas, particularly with Funds Management (FM) and Cost Management (CM). Each
revenue and expense GL account in FI corresponds to a commitment item in FM and a cost
element in CM. FM commitment items define how funds are either controlled or spent by the
Army. Cost elements and cost objects provide a means to track costs by cost center, internal
order, or WBS. Each GL account maps to one commitment item and one cost element forming a
three-way relationship between FI, FM, and CM.
Cost Management Process Area ✔✔Cost Management (CM) helps manage business operations
efficiently and effectively through the accurate measurement and understanding of the "full cost"
of an organization's business processes, products, and services. Cost Management allows the
organization to provide the best value to customers.
PP&E ✔✔Property, plant, and equipment
As with all business process areas in GFEBS, Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) has four
sub-processes that work together and integrate with the other GFEBS process areas in order to
provide a single financial solution.
- Plant Maintenance
- Real Property
- Asset Accounting
- Project Systems
